After being inspired by the movies, reading tool buying guides, and purchasing the right tools for you, you might wonder how you should take a trip with your devices especially if you’re a handyman who needs to do work someplace else—whether near or far.

Another reason why you have to take them with you is that you can’t live without a few tools near you. After all, you’ll never know when you need to fix something, right? It’s better to be sure by bringing your tools with you; it’s one way to avoid regrets.

Today, we’ll tackle the issue comprehensively.

Traveling by Car, Train, and Boat

To take a road trip with your tools, you must be sure the tools are secure in a durable toolbox that won’t open or be drastically moved every time your car hits a road bump. You can take any tool with you if you travel by car as long as the car can handle your weight plus your tools’ weight. If you want to travel by train, you have to consider the security checks and the weight of the toolbox. You should also pack them correctly. The same goes for traveling by boat—you have to think twice if you can handle that heavy toolbox and if the boat can too. Bear in mind that a handy toolkit should be carried using one hand only. Otherwise, it will no longer be handy and convenient. To be safe, always take your handyman ID or certification with you so that the security personnel won’t question your need for those tools.

Traveling by Airplane

You can’t place saws, drills, blades, knives, box cutters, screwdrivers, and pliers in your carry-on bag. All these tools are prohibited from all cabins. You could, however, put them in the luggage. Always inspect if their packaging is secured. You wouldn’t want your other stuff to get damaged, and you also wouldn’t like it if the inspectors get hurt because of your improperly packaged tools.

Also, know that some tools are subject to size and weight limitations. Tools that are too big and heavy like crowbars, hammers, hatchets, axes, and cattle prods might be banned. To be sure, check if the terminal allows it. Some terminals let you travel with these tools after they’ve been checked in. Remember that airports have different rules, so you should check their website first before you make a checklist of the tools you ought to bring with you.

Lastly, just as when you travel by car, train, and boat, you should also take your handyman ID or certificate with you when you’re about to travel by airplane.

It’s been a few years since Suzanne Collins’ bestselling novel series, The Hunger Games, first hit the big screen starring X-Men: First Class’ Jennifer Lawrence and Journey to the Center of the Earth’s Josh Hutcherson.

But you know what? Katniss Everdeen is still a hero until now – and forever it may seem.

You see, there’s more to this bow-wielding victor than most people think. Because ladies and gentlemen, here are what makes Katniss Everdeen a hero:

Her Love For Her Family

This was especially evident in the first part of The Hunger Games, back when Katniss’ sister Primrose was nominated to be the girl tribute of the 75th Hunger Games with boy tribute Peeta Mellark. Katniss then volunteered to be the next girl tribute in exchange for Prim’s freedom from getting butchered senselessly the current year and her traumatized mother’s survival as she won’t be around to hunt food for the both of them.

Her Respect For Her Father

If you can recall, Katniss loves to be on her feet, hence her highly impressive character towards bows. However, it’s not just survival for her and her family nor a way to communicate with her best friend Gale without anyone judging them. It’s for her to get closer with her father’s memory, who passed away years ago during a coal mine explosion in District 12. It’s also for her to get closer to her father’s legacy, who taught her all that is there to learn about bows and arrows.

Her Loyalty For Peeta Mellark

If you can also recall, Katniss loves to be on her head, hence her highly unimpressive attitude towards people. However, it’s not just strategy for her and her team nor a way to excommunicate with her assigned mentor Haymitch without anyone judging them. It’s for her to get closer with her teammate’s memory, who practically gave her a new reason to wake up every single day. It’s also for her to get closer to her teammate’s legacy, who taught her all that is there to learn about faithfulness and love.

Indeed, it seems like the odds will forever be in Katniss Everdeen’s favor.

What about you?

What do you think makes Katniss Everdeen a hero?

Is it just her love for her family? Is it just her respect for her father? Is it just her loyalty for Peeta Mellark?

Or is it everything in between that no other person could have ever said any better?

Watching TV shows has now become everyone’s all-time favorite pastime – from Korean dramas like the recently commenced Bride Of The Water God starring Nam Joo Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung and the ongoing Fight For My Way starring Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won to American shows like the recently concluded Pretty Little Liars starring Lucy Hale and Ian Harding and the upcoming Game Of Thrones Season 7 starring Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington to reality shows like the already defunct Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! and the highly controversial Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

There’s also Friends starring Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, which ran from 1994 to 2004 and lasted for 10 seasons; and How I Met Your Mother starring Cobie Smulders and Josh Radnor, which ran from 2005 to 2014 and lasted for 9 seasons. There’s even DC’s The Flash starring Grant Gustin and Candice Patton, which is set to release its 4th season this October; and Marvel’s Agents Of Shield starring Clark Gregg and Ming-Na Wen, which is set to release its 5th season January next year; and a whole lot more that continue to set the bar high globally.

But now, the question is: What makes a TV show great?

What makes a TV show different from others? What makes a TV show loved by others?

Well, there are 2 characteristics a TV show must have…

One, a TV show must have a unique plot. Take for example: last year’s most watched Korean drama, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God a.k.a. Goblin. It set the bar even higher for this year’s line of K-Dramas, as the unique plot of 19-year-old high school student Ji Eun Tak and 939-year-old dokkaebi Kim Shin continue to reach people’s hearts and minds all over the world with important lessons about love, forgiveness, loyalty, and friendship. Having it set on both the past and the present, along with strong links from both time periods influencing the main characters’ future, has pretty much shown what makes a TV show great.

And two, a TV show must have a unique view. Take for example: the longest running ABC primetime show Grey’s Anatomy. It also set the bar even higher when it comes to medical-themed dramas, as the unique view of every doctor working in Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital – formerly known as Seattle Grace Mercy West, until the doctors pooled all their resources to save the hospital from closing; hence the dedicated name for those who died in a plane crash back in Season 8 – continue to touch people’s hearts and minds all over the world with important lessons about life, career, love, and friendship. It’s also like seeing birds fly high with a good monocular, as you go monocular hunting, where you get to see more than what meets the eye when it comes to life-threatening situations and even personal issues one has to face daily.

Admit it or not, it’s not truly often that you get the chance to take a breather from your hectic work life. But when you do get that much-needed chance to relax your body from all those heat and tension at work, it would probably just involve you idling on the couch all day to make up for all those sleepless nights making reports for work.

Thus, it’s only right for you to saw a movie in the best way possible. And by this, it means seeing a movie and making your creative juice flow like no other as you think of ways to make the most out of that much-needed breather you’re planning to take – let’s say, this weekend and especially with your loved ones. You can do this by spicing up your movie night with your loved ones as you take it to the poolside – and yes, along with all those things you sawed by yourself (created by hand with these saws that are also mentioned below) just for that exact moment to happen under the guidance of the bright stars above.

Indeed, it’s only right for you to saw a movie in the best way possible.

Admit it or not as well, it’s not really often that you get the chance to make a changer from a frantic work life. And when you do get that much-needed chance to rejuvenate your mind from all those pressure and strain at home, it would probably just involve you lying on the bed all day to make up for all those restless days doing chores for home.

And thus, it’s only right for you to saw a movie in the best way possible. And by this, it means experiencing a movie and making your innovative juice flow like never before as you think of more ways to make the most out of that much-needed changer you’re planning to make – let’s say, this holiday and even with your own self. You can do this by spicing up your movie night with your own self as you make it to the treehouse – and yes, along with all those things you sawed by yourself (innovated by hand with those saws that are also mentioned above) just for that exact moment to happen under the guidance of the light moon above.

And indeed, it’s only right for you to saw a movie in the best way possible.

Admit it or not, we just can’t live without the existence of movies nowadays. It’s one of the few things everyone has in common that doesn’t only make a person feel more relaxed than usual especially after a long day of hustle and bustle at work, but also make a person feel more rejuvenated than usual even after a long day of calm and peace at home.

Be it with your families during the weekends or with your friends during the holidays, having a movie night simply makes everything better.

Whether you’re planning to watch the newest Avengers movie with your families or the oldest X-Men movie with your friends, having your movie night by the pool is one great way to cool off from the hustle and bustle of your work life. You see, not only will you enjoy watching a movie over chips and sodas or cheese and wines, but also enjoy keeping yourself relaxed over the water as you watch the movie and keeping yourself rejuvenated under the water as you watch the movie – both at the same time and even more.

Perfect Locations For Movie Nights Number 2: By The Rooftop

Surely, nothing beats watching a movie under the bright stars at night. Having a movie night by the rooftop will also not only make you feel closer with your movie buddies, but also closer with Mother Nature as you learn to appreciate what’s right above you. Even more so, it will be just like watching a movie in a real theater – only better as you get to see over 5 billion shinies above you as you enjoy the movie with those who are close to your heart. Ah, just thinking about having an experience like this makes for a well-spent movie night – more than the actual value of a movie ticket in theaters.

Indeed, it’s only right for you to consider these perfect locations for movie nights.

On another hand, you can always view more about this as you learn about the first perfect location for a movie night.

Choose the appropriate location

Spend your movie night at home or on the road! Base the site on the genre or theme of the film. Adventure and action movies are best watched outside the house, while romantic and comedy movies are best watched at home. You could even watch a musical movie in your tree house. There’s no rule, actually. Just make sure the place is comfortable enough, and there’s an outlet!

Watch with friends

It’s boring if you watch alone. You could do tons of activities with your friends on movie night too. Besides, you’ll enjoy your movies better if you spend time watching it with a friend. Watching with friends is just like getting most out of your spotter scope; you’re maximizing the movie’s capacity to entertain you.

Be creative about your snacks

Don’t take your snacks lightly! Even if you’re just staying at home, you can have the time of your life with the right food for your movie night. Popcorn usually does the trick, but why not level up your game? You could bake muffins, make your own pizza, and prepare your favorite healthy juice or smoothie that go well with the food you have in mind. Make your movie night special with food.

Take the entire night seriously

I’m talking about costumes, home decor, and fun research! If you’re going to watch a Harry Potter movie, for example, you and your family or friends could dress up like the characters in the film. You could assign who’d be Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and so on. You could even vote for the best costume of the night and have a prize ready for the winner. You could also decorate the house so that it looks like Hogwarts and perhaps trivia and fun facts could be mentioned before or after the movie.

Show movie awards

After playing the movie, you could show the compilation of awards or nominations the film received. It’s one way to appreciate the movie, the cast, and the staff.

Our life is never complete without us being able to watch a movie. Be it in the local theater with our friends or in the living room with our families, watching a movie gives us the kind of breather we needed to have from the hustle and the bustle of our everyday lives. Be it every month’s first weekend with our families or every year’s special holiday with our friends, watching a movie also gives us the kind of challenger we needed to have from the calm and the peace of our other lives.

Thus, it’s only right for one to make sure that they have something awesome to snack on during a movie.

Here are some ideas for you:

Watching a movie in the local theater with your friends? Snack on popcorn and hotdogs with buns.

Aside from the fact that popcorn is well-known to go with any kind of movie in theatres out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies while filling up your eyes to movies with booms like when the popcorn is being cooked in low heat. Aside from the fact that hotdog is also well-known to go with any kind of drink in theaters out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies even more while also filling up your minds with cracks like when the hotdog is being cooked in medium heat.

Simply put, snacking on popcorn and hotdogs with buns during a movie, especially with your friends in the local theater, makes the seeing experience more real than ever.

Watching a movie in the living room with your families? Snack on chips and bread with dips.

Aside from the fact that chips are well-known to go with any kind of movie in houses out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies while filling up your eyes to movies with cracks like when the chips are being eaten in slow motion. Aside from the fact that bread is also well-known to go with any kind of drink in houses out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies even more while also filling up your minds with bangs like when the bread is being dipped in fast motion.

Simply put, snacking on chips and bread with dips during a movie, especially with your families in the living room, makes the doing experience more real than ever.
